SUPERNATURAL BROWNIES

Category: Brownies/Blondies

16 tbsp butter
8 oz bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
4 large eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup flour
2 cups chopped nuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Turn off heat. Set a heatproof bowl over water, and put butter and chocolate in bowl. Melt, stirring occasionally. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs. Add salt, sugars, and vanilla. Stir in chocolate and butter mixture. Fold in flour and nuts. Pour batter into a 13x9 inch pan that has been buttered/sprayed. (The recipe also suggests lining the pan with buttered parchment or foil.) Spread batter evenly in pan. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The top will form a shiny crust and the batter will be moderately firm. Cool on a rack. Cut brownies into squares
